Don't believe the 2000 models have any sensors to trip you up, so you should be good to go.

Remove it if it even has one. They are not required for emisions, I dont even know why some come with and some dont.

I removed mine with no issues, until I went down and had to get a smog check and the guy failed me on the visual inspection because there was no Cat, had to put one back on to get registered... now I have a 5" inlet/outlet hollowed out piece of pipe that says Catalytic Converter on it
